During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.

A real-time procedure was executed on Apr 14 to perform a diagnostic
dump of the Control Processing Electronics (CPE). A second real-time
procedure was executed on Apr 15 to re-initialize the flight software
Thruster Command Processing subfunction in order to prevent the
occurrence of an overflow condition.

A Chandra image release was issued on Apr 16 describing observations
of the globular cluster NGC 6388. A planet may have been ripped apart
by a white dwarf star in this globular cluster in the outskirts of the
Milky Way. A white dwarf is the dense core of a star like the Sun that
has run out of nuclear fuel. Combining data from Chandra and several
other telescopes, researchers think a "tidal disruption" may explain
what is observed. For details see:

The schedule of targets for the next two weeks is shown below and
includes an observation of SN2014C, accepted as a Director's
Discretionary Time TOO follow-up on Dec 15, and an observation of the
Cas A CCO, accepted as a Director's Discretionary Time TOO on Mar 9.
